Workshop: Slide Presentations Anonymous
Daily, six million teachers use PowerPoint presentations to teach. Slide projectors and projection screens with computers attached have become ubiquitous in most classrooms. The use of slide presentations in the classroom has become an accepted addiction that educators- including this presenter- find it difficult to break free of. As the world moves technologically toward smaller hand-held devices and more students walk into class carrying their own computer, isn’t it time to break this addiction? Are there better- higher tech or lower tech- methods we can use to present information that do not require the computer, slide projector and screen? Do we even need slide presentations in class? Does using them increase student retention or detract from it? Does their use constitute visual learning? These are the considerations we will explore in this interactive presentation.
5PM – KOTESOL Social Event nearby (Brewer's Brothers, Etoh's, Indian, or Galbi - TBA). Everyone pays for their own food and beverage.
